Connolly's Corner Bar: World Series predictions

Dan ConnollyThe Baltimore Sun

Two bar openings in two days.

Must be early in the offseason.

Couldn’t let this one pass, though. Not with the World Series starting tonight.

I know some of you are cringing when you hear “World Series,” lamenting about what might have been. Well, don’t. The Orioles had a season that exceeded everyone’s expectations. Be thankful that they went as far as they did.

And don’t let their early exit stop you from watching this October Classic. I know I’m biased, but the World Series will always be my favorite Reality TV Series.

This year is a fairly compelling one. The Detroit Tigers are star-studded; the San Francisco Giants are fate-tempters. Should be more drama than Jersey Shore, right (and nearly as awful hairdos/facial hair thanks to the Giants)?

There are not many options for Orioles’ fans looking for connections in this one. Aubrey Huff, one of my favorite players to cover over the years, is still with the Giants, though he has been reduced to a pinch-hitter.
